FOOD AND DRINK is one of
Europes largest manufacturing
sectors, yet the uncertain economic
conditions are set to continue
impacting the sector. In a highly
competitive retail market with
challenging macroeconomic
dynamics, a flexible, high-performing
supply chain is in a pivotal position to
drive true competitive advantage in the
food and drink sector.
At CCE, we manufacture and
distribute Coca-Cola products in eight
territories across Western Europe,
delivering more than 600 million cases
of product to retailers every year,
which are sold to over 170 million
consumers. Coca-Cola may be a
global, iconic brand but we are a local
business with almost 95 percent of our
drinks being made in the country in
which theyre sold.
Our 166-person strong logistics
team provides exceptional day-to-day
operational support seven days a
week, 364 days a year and ensuring
on-shelf availability, which is crucial
to deliver competitive advantage.
The commitment and passion of our
people is just one reason why weve

16
June 2014
In my experience as a supply
chain practitioner and observing
businesses internal mechanics,
focus is concentrated on external
integration or delivery of best in class
practices. Particularly when internal
supply chains albeit as a common
theme are not cohesive, with missed
opportunities and confusion on
strategic and holistic priorities.
Internal supply chains are still
managed in isolation often working
against each other without any
definition of thinking beyond these
boundaries.
Piecemeal solutions and one off
initiatives are no longer considered a
viable option to improve an internal
supply chain. Issues are wide and
varied and there is a degree of service
impact and event correlation between
all identifiers that are highlighted
below:
We can categorise internal supply
chain issues as: ethos; development;
sourcing; systems; finance; human
resources; legal; culture; value stream;
uncertainty; busy and quality. Within
these categories there is many related
issues and challenges specific to the
category.

a laser focused approach to
re-invigorate internal supply chains.
Simplicity is the key in order to create
certainty, encourage cross-functional
agreement and cement buy in, on
control, collaboration, and flexibility.
Successful internal supply chains
regard two core principles as integral
to moving forward: Cross functional
integration and internal integration.

PROCUREMENT
THE ROLE OF technology within
supply chain has come on leaps and
bounds in recent years with the levels
of efficiency and accuracy being
promoted by logistics companies a
key element in attracting potential
clients.
For the manufacturers and retailers
at the other end of the spectrum
though, the technology being used
in their internal supply chains is
having to become equally refined and
never more so than throughout the
procurement process.
Like much of the business world,
mobile applications are offering a
flexibility and immediacy unrivalled
by traditional methods, and as the
demand for these apps become more
necessary, the solutions providers are
becoming embroiled in a classic tech
tussle for market saturation.
Despite being relatively expensive,
procurement apps offer the ability to
monitor, evaluate and easily upgrade
existing supply chain operations, at a
much more rapid rate, and with less
room for error.
This is subsequently making
it neglectful of companies to not
employ an effective and up-to-date
procurement management system,

Returns on investment
A key theme throughout many of the
leading procurement app providers
is the option of having the technology
installed onsite, inevitably presenting
more costs, but still becoming a
favourable option to businesses
without the R&D facilities to produce
their own in-house system.
However, recent research carried
out by AnyPresence suggests that
over the coming year, more and
more businesses will opt for custom
development to make the end solution
more niche and unique to their own
needs.
For the time being though, the
majority are still opting to turn to a 3PL
or private cloud provider.

Increasing efficiency
The nature of the modern supply chain
and adoption of lean manufacturing,
while creating major efficiencies and
cost savings, mean that organisations
often have to rely heavily on IT
systems to manage the complexity.
This involves using interconnected
enterprise resource planning (ERP)
solutions to track goods as they move
through the supply chain, ensuring
operational information is stored in a
centralised data silo.
But these systems themselves are
vulnerable to disruptions. Significant

History
The Missouri Dump Truckers
Association, MDTA, was founded
in 1970. It is a statewide trade
association. It was founded to
promote the common interest and
to improve business conditions of
the dump truck industry. MDTA has
two levels of membership, Regular
Members which include the owners/
operators. Since its inception it has
included trucking companies large
and small. The second are Associate
Members which include, but not
inclusive of dump truck, body, trailer
manufacturers, suppliers, vendors
and others dealing with the dump
truck industry.
60
June 2014
Goals
The main goal of the MDTA is to
improve and protect the economic
and political position of our
membership by working for the
fair and reasonable enactment of
enforcement of regulations and
statutes as they apply to the dump
truck industry. By doing this we bring
our members together and they are
united for a common cause. MDTA
also seeks to encourage the highest
ideals and ethics in all matters
relative to the activities of the dump
truck industry, including promoting
safety and respecting the inherent
rights of others while driving on our
roadways and in our communities.
USA
Benefits
There are many benefits to being a
member. The greatest of these is
our voice in the capital. MDTA has
a registered lobbyist which makes
those members voices heard.
Many people ask, Why should I
join? Your membership gives YOU
a voice. Many have experienced
the weakness of not being united
and attempt to fight on their own
only to being taken advantage of.
Those members know our industry
and many do not and try to change
things to better themselves and in
return bringing down those trying
to make a living. There are other
benefits that include:

Founded in 1996, Ativa Logstica predicted this scenario and, since
last year, has implemented some changes in its plans: We restructured
the pathway of the company. The expansion of the Midwest was
postponed until this summer. We are going through a process of finalizing
prices with our client in the region, which is a great client of ours in the
pharmaceutical field, and we only need now to set up when we are going
to start the operation. We are expanding within the customers we have,
explains Paulo Roberto Esprito Santo, General Director of the company.
In the Midwest, Ativa Logstica will open units in Goias and in Brasilia:
Everything is ready, from the site to licenses, and people. This was not
only a decision that came from Ativa only, it was our clients also. Some of
our customers who are acting in the Midwest have delayed their projects,
so we had to postpone going there too, says Paulo Roberto.

Express made to its processes and systems,
and the way its logistics providers work.
Clowes added: It is not very often
changes that big happen so quickly with a
company the size of Costa, they normally
get slowed down by bureaucracy.
The SO99+ system has been rolled out
to sites in Poland and Ireland, and will
support our International growth.
We have 3,500 delivery points across Costa
Express alone and a further 3,000 in Costa Proud
to Serve -there are not many UK retailers who
have to have such a large reach, said Clowes.
Part of the supply chain transformation process
has involved adding a new logistics/warehousing
partner, a new IT system and a new process of
purchasing stock directly from the suppliers.
Teamwork
It is bit of risk to make changes to a
business so quickly, but with higher
risk often comes higher reward.
Before implementing ToolsGroups software,
Costa Express used to estimate how much
stock to supply each site with at the end of each
month using figures provided by the partners.
Now Costa compares the actual sales data
to the levels of inventory declared in the sites
to give far better visibility and control.
For example, every 15 minutes the team
receives digital messages from the machines
giving an update on ingredient levels, so

Delivering on tracks
Another major development at Piraeus which HP
played a prominent part in is the establishment
of a rail link all the way to the Czech Republic,

Sustainable innovation
The shift to alternative and intermodal
transportation demonstrates a commitment
to sustainable practice seen right through
the PPS Logistics operation. Technology
is another area in which processes can
be streamlined and made greener.
We are just introducing a new Transport
Management System across Europe which
will improve fill rates in trucks, de Winter said.
We can increase fill rates by about 30 percent
which means fewer trucks on the roads.

UTi Worldwide
Proud of the success to-date, Regional
Consultant for International Trade and Custom,
Timothy Nyanzira, believes access to UTi
Worldwides network has been crucial to its
success in Zimbabwe.
One of our major strengths is our global
existence, our network around the whole world,
he said. That is something we have over some
of the small players who only exist in Zimbabwe
and whose contractual network arrangement with
other countries does not necessarily work.
With 313 offices and 245 logistics centres in
59 countries, the parent company develops and
implements client-centric, global solutions for
international companies with unique supply chain
requirements.

Skilled workforce
Equally important to UTi Zimbabwe becoming the
countrys market leader in freight forwarding is the
input of its 86-strong workforce, as well as its own
efforts to continuously develop their considerable
talents, both of which Nyanzira believes gives
them the edge over rival firms.
